ATADA - Antique Tribal Art Dealers Association
While attending a show in 1988, a small group of independent tribal art dealers got together for dinner. The dinner conversation turned to their mutual concern for the apparent and damaging lack of ethical standards for the business at large. From that discussion and those that followed, was born the concept of a professional association of dealers that would provide education for the public and set standards for the trade - an organization of honest and informed sellers that would afford buyers a new and much needed sense of security.
That organization became ATADA, the Antique Tribal Art Dealers Association. As members, we offer buyers a guarantee that objects we sell are as represented regarding age, authenticity and extent of restoration (if any). Furthermore, this guarantee allows buyers a full refund if the object proves to be other than represented. We also ensure that objects have been properly acquired and fall within the restrictions of laws concerning cultural sensitivity. |
